Authorities are searching for a 19-year-old who officials say shot two people inside a Walmart.
Fayetteville police said at 10 p.m. Friday, officers received reports of shots fired at a Walmart on Pavillion Parkway.
When officers arrived, they located 19-year-old Antavius Holton of Riverdale and a nine-year-old girl who had both been shot. Both were taken to the hospital.
Police confirmed that Holton died at the hospital. The child is still stable.
Police identified the shooter as 19-year-old Adrian Jelks, a Walmart employee.
According to the investigation, officers believe that it was an isolated incident and that Jelks planned to shoot the man. Officers identified the child as an innocent bystander who was struck by a stray bullet.
“I am appalled that an innocent child is in the hospital with a gunshot wound, but I’m glad she is in stable condition,” officers told Channel 2 Action News at the scene.
